Abstract
A digital LDO regulator includes a first comparison circuit to compare an output voltage with a reference voltage and to output a reference load switching signal when the output voltage rises above the reference voltage, a logic circuit to output a control current in response to the reference load switching signal, a second comparison circuit to compare the output voltage with a transient reference voltage and to output a transient load switching signal when the output voltage rises above the transient reference voltage, a switching circuit to control the logic circuit to pass a transient current in response to the transient load switching signal, a circuit to provide a mirroring current to the logic circuit after a transient state, a load current supply circuit to switch in response to the control current and to supply a load current, and a capacitor coupled to the load current supply circuit.
